I've been using rdiff-backup for years. I do a twice daily automatic backup using a cron job to a second drive. I also use a cron job to remove any data older than one month.

I really liked how easy it was to specify exactly which directories and files you did and did not want backed up.

My biggest gripe was that restoring was such a pain. Normally I only needed the current backup info which is not compressed and can easily be accessed using copy and paste. But when I needed one of the older backups, First, I couldn't remember how and Second, it took a lot of effort after I reviewed how to use it.

I'm going to download RdiffWeb right now and see how well it solves the restore process...

Thanks again.
